INTRODUCTION
❖Embedded systems?
❖Computers are embedded within other systems:
❖“Other Systems”?
❖Any computing systems other than desktop/laptop.
❖Typical Examples?
❖..
❖Processors are often very simple and inexpensive (depending on
applications).
4
COMMON FEATURES OF EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
❖Constraints?
❖Low cost, low power, small size, relatively fast.
5
TYPICAL DESIGN CONSTRAINTS
❖Low cost
❖The cost of the embedded systems can be increased by the sophisticated
processor.
❖Limited memory
❖Typically constrained to a small amount of memory.
❖Real-time response
❖Must generate response within a specified time.
6
HOW TO DEFINE AN EMBEDDED SYSTEM?
❖For low cost microcontrollers that are typically used are single chip-devices
containing processor, memory, and i/o interfaces.
